Moisture for the skin – adapt skin care after the summer
Rough patches on the face or body, dry skin, tightness, sensitive skin... Do you also feel that your skin is particularly dry after the summer? You are not alone. In fact, skin dries out more easily in the summer than usual and needs even more moisture. You should therefore adapt your care to your skin's current needs during and after the summer months. You can find out why this is important and how you can achieve this in this blog post.
Why moisture is especially important for the skin in summer
Moisture is a crucial factor for skin health and also for beauty and anti-aging. Well-hydrated skin does not develop wrinkles and fine lines as easily. It feels smoother and more even, looks more radiant and also has a better skin barrier. A firm and plump complexion also depends very much on hydration. That is why hydration is so important and dry skin should be avoided if possible.
In summer, dry skin and all its problems are particularly common. The main culprit is UV radiation from the sun. This can weaken the skin's natural protective barrier, causing it to lose moisture more easily. For this reason (and of course to protect against sunburn, skin cancer and premature skin aging), you should always provide your skin with good UV protection to keep out UV rays.

What dries out the skin in summer?
But the skin dries out more in summer for other reasons:
- When temperatures are high, the body sweats more and loses moisture in the process.
- The skin also reacts to sea and pool water, which it comes into contact with much more in summer. Both salt and chlorine can dry out the skin.
- In summer, we also shower more often to remove sweat and dirt. Hot water and cleaning products can dry out the skin.
- Another factor is air conditioning. Although this makes the temperature indoors more pleasant, it also makes the air particularly dry.
These factors can also make other skin types, such as oily skin or blemished skin, more likely to dry out in summer.
Pamper your skin with moisturizing care
What do you do when your skin has become dry? The best way to counteract this is with intensive care! Our BASIC HYDRO Triple Aqua Booster is particularly suitable for this. This oil-free gel is suitable for all skin types and is intended for both men and women. Natural freshness factors ensure that the moisture is transported deeper into the skin and can be retained there. The Triple Aqua Booster can be used in three different ways: as a 24-hour care product, as a mask or as a moisture booster under the care cream.
Care tips for dry skin after summer
In addition to intensive moisturizing care, these tips will help:
- If you have been in the sun a lot during the day, you should apply an after-sun product in the evening that moisturizes and soothes the skin.
- When showering, cleansing your face and removing make-up, make sure not to use any drying products!
- Lukewarm water is gentler on the skin than very cold or hot water.
- Regular gentle peelings help to remove dry skin cells and stimulate blood circulation and skin regeneration. This can ensure a smoother and softer complexion.
- Drinking is particularly important not only in summer, but also afterwards! Your body needs more water now than usual. If you drink enough, your skin will also be better moisturized.
By the way: If your skin is well moisturized, this also ensures a long-lasting and even tan. Another reason for customized summer care!
Conclusion:
In summer, the skin dries out more easily than usual. That's why you should adjust your care routine and provide dry summer skin with particularly intensive moisture.
